Valhalla Hills – Definitive Edition
In Valhalla Hills you are Leko – youngest son of Odin, exiled to Midgard by your father for failing to meet his expectations. Far from home, you now find yourself with a disgruntled band of Vikings. To get back to Asgard, you will have to lead them through the mountain region of Valhalla Hills, where a magical portal awaits to take you to your rightful place in the realm of the gods. But the journey is a hazardous one, and the Vikings will need to do one thing first…survive! The Definitive Edition includes the DLCs Sand of the Damned and Fire Mountains, as well as a new exclusive map type – The Dwarf Cave. • Build and manage a thriving Viking settlement with over 35 buildings • Conquer massive mountainside landscapes and face dangerous foes like Ice Giants, Lava Crawler or Mummies. • Play on snow-covered slopes, barren sand dunes, fiery volcanos or in gloomy caves. • Randomly generated maps, day and night cycles and a well-balanced economic system provide endless challenges and variety.

Valhalla Hills is a charming and relaxing town management game where you guide a population of Vikings who believe the key to entering Valhalla is through their building prowess—not their battle skills. While the concept might sound a bit quirky, it actually works surprisingly well and gives the game a lighthearted tone.
The gameplay itself is straightforward and accessible, making it a great choice for newcomers to city-building games. Your goal is to explore and manage small, randomly generated islands, each with its own unique challenges. While combat is a part of the game, it’s very basic—more of a tactical afterthought than a central mechanic.
As you progress, your Viking settlers will gain access to new tools and face increasingly complex challenges. The lack of a traditional campaign means that each playthrough feels fresh and unpredictable, with a new "map seed" being generated for every island you explore. This randomness adds a lot of replay value.
While Valhalla Hills is enjoyable, it’s not particularly deep or challenging. The game is perfect for introducing younger players or casual fans to the world of town management and strategy. However, if you’re looking for something more involved or serious, you may want to look elsewhere.
Overall, I’d rate it a 7/10—a fun and relaxing game, good purchase on sale, but not without its limits

Interesting take on the settlers/nordland genre, sadly the game loop has some issues, like limiting the amount of vikings you can bring into this world making them an important resource

Better than the new Settler garbage and Pioneers of Pagonia. Didn't even knew this existed.

Стратегия про поселения викингов. Как это обычно принято у каталога Daedalic, тут круто поработали художники, и это вытягивает общую ситуацию. Фанаты Cultures (у них одни и те же разработчики) недовольны, ну тут уж им виднее.
